After the rebirth of the Marquis's mistress, she smiled at the scumbag's family

"I heard that my eldest aunt came back and cried loudly in Shou'an Hall and couldn't stop!"

Hongyu teased the child and continued with disdain: "You looked down on the princess so much in the beginning and opposed her everywhere. Now you know how glorious it is to have the princess as your brother's wife. You deserve it!"

Cuiwei lowered her eyes and didn't say anything, looking like she was worried about something.

"What's wrong with you?" Hongyu looked at her with amusement, "Are you sick from missing the princess?"

Cuiwei sighed and stroked her belly, "I'm afraid I'm pregnant."

Hongyu was happy at first, but then she was shocked. "Being pregnant is a good thing. Why do you look like your husband is dead? Is the child not Third Master's?!"

Cuiwei rolled her eyes, "Do you think I'm that slut like Lin Wan'er who can sleep with anyone?!

I just don’t want to have Third Master’s child!”

Hongyu was silent, "Yes, if it weren't for the princess, Lele and I would not have survived.

Now that the princess has left, who in this mansion can protect you and your child's lives? "

If the situation of saving the adult or the young arises again, I’m afraid the old lady will really cut open Cuiwei’s belly!

"So what do you want to do? Get rid of the baby?"

Cuiwei lowered her head and said, "I haven't made up my mind yet. I can't bear to abort the baby, but if I don't, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep the baby."

Hongyu thought for a moment and asked, "How about asking the princess for help?"

Cuiwei shook her head, "The princess has nothing to do with the Zhennan Palace now, what can we do?

I am the Third Master's concubine. Even if I risk my life to bear children for him, it is my duty. What right does the princess have to interfere?"

"Don't be so depressed. Now the Third Master has lost his title as the Crown Prince, but he also has no legal wife. We are the only two concubines in the mansion. Pregnancy is a happy event anyway.

Although Young Master Zhan is the eldest son, he is not a biological son after all.

If you can give birth to a son, even if he is not as good as Master Zhan, can he still be worse than Lu Ze?"

Cuiwei touched Cuiwei's belly and smiled gently, "I hope it's a daughter. A daughter is a caring little cotton-padded jacket.

If it were a boy, I would let him respect Young Master Zhan and put him first in everything.

To be honest, no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, I don’t expect them to achieve anything great. It’s enough for them to live safely and healthily.

With Master Zhan and the Princess protecting me, it is enough for me to live a smooth and trouble-free life."

Hongyu pinched her daughter's hand and said, "Yes, I never wanted Lele to marry into a rich family. I just want her to marry into an ordinary family, even a merchant family. She won't have to worry about food and clothing. With Master Zhan and the princess as her backers, her in-laws won't dare to bully her. This would be the best."

She comforted Cuiwei, "When you are pregnant, the most taboo is to worry too much. Don't think too much."

"Ah."

In the past few days, Lu Jingting always went out early and came back late. He left the house early in the morning and returned home after midnight, drunk.

Not to mention going to Shou'an Hall to pay respects, there wasn't even a human figure to be seen.

The old lady felt distressed and angry when she saw him so decadent.

Unable to find Lu Jingting, he called the gatekeeper and scolded him, "Can't you stop the Third Master?!"

The servant kowtowed and said aggrievedly: "I tried to stop him, but I couldn't. The Third Master beat and kicked me, and even chopped me with a sword... We really didn't dare to stop him."

The old lady felt a sharp pain in her chest and almost choked to death on her saliva.

He turned around and got angry at Nanny Li, "Listen to me, this is so useless! If you lose your position as the crown prince, you should think of a way to earn it back. If you lose your wife, you should think of a way to marry a better one!

He just drank to drown his sorrows, and didn't know how to solve the problem.

It's really like what his grandfather said, he is a hopeless person! "

Nanny Li brought a cup of tea and comforted her, "Old Madam, after experiencing such a big setback, everyone would be depressed for a while. Once Third Master figures it out, he will naturally make progress.

Besides, maybe the Third Master has some important business to attend to, so drinking and socializing are inevitable."

The old lady snorted coldly, "You don't have to make excuses for him. Now that he has lost his position as the crown prince and even his official position has been removed, he is at best a prince of a royal palace.

Other palaces are fine, but our Zhennan Palace is nothing in the capital! What kind of social event could he have that would require him to drink until the middle of the night? !

He is just like a donkey, he won't move even if you pull him, and will only move backwards. Did he listen to my advice to him to give up Lin Wan'er and live a good life with Xiao Yunxi?

I told him not to bring Lu Ze and his sister into the mansion. Did he listen?"

The old lady became more and more angry as she spoke. "Send someone to guard the gate and bring him here if you see him!"

Lu Jingting was indeed like what the old lady said, he didn't have any drinking social events, he just got drunk alone.

He came early in the morning to Nanyangfang, one of the best restaurants in the capital, and booked a private room, where he drank by himself. After a while, three or four wine bottles were scattered all over the table and on the floor.

In the private room next door, there were also two guests who had arrived early in the morning. They were Prince Duan and Marquis Wu'an.

"Your Majesty, there is a new kind of foreign wine here. It is said to be spicy at first, sweet aftertaste, and has a faint plum blossom fragrance. You must taste it carefully."

Xie Junyao smiled and didn't care much.

The two chatted while tasting wine, but the content was basically irrelevant and had nothing to do with the court.

After a while, Prince Duan finished the wine in his cup and said, "Noble Lady Kang is very much in the favor of my father and is extremely respectful to my mother. My Lord is really good at training people. Not only has she been trained to look about 70% similar to Concubine Rong, but her temperament is even more docile and obedient."

Before Concubine Kang entered the palace, no one knew of her existence, which shows how carefully Marquis Wu'an was cultivating her.

I just don't know what Marquis Wu'an is trying to do. Is Concubine Kang still rising to prominence or is she still dreaming of becoming the grandfather of the future emperor?

Wu Anhou smiled and said, "It is Concubine Kang's blessing to serve His Majesty and the Queen."

Seeing that Prince Duan looked unhappy, he paused and continued, "I asked Your Majesty to come here today because I have a favor to ask of you."

"Oh?" Xie Junyao raised an eyebrow, "Tell me about it."

“To be honest with you, Your Majesty, Concubine Kang has a twin sister who got lost when she was seven or eight years old while watching lanterns at the City God Temple.

My family and I have been searching for him for a long time, but there is no news."

Xie Junyao smiled faintly, "So the Marquis wants me to help you find someone?"

Wu Anhou paused and continued, "A few days ago, my wife accidentally met Princess Changle. At that time, there was a little girl of six or seven years old beside the princess. She looked very much like my lost niece..."

"so?"

Wu Anhou lowered his head in embarrassment, "I have heard that the child was born to Lu Jingting, the concubine of the Zhennan Palace..."

Xie Junyao smiled, "Are you trying to say that the humble concubine is the younger sister of Concubine Kang who has been missing for almost twenty years?"

Marquis Wu'an stopped talking. It was no use saying it was no, and it was no use saying it was no.

"I am not on good terms with the old Prince of Zhennan, so I cannot get the details," he bowed deeply to Xie Junyao, "I heard that the prince has a close personal relationship with Lu Jingting, so I shamelessly come to ask the prince for help. I hope you can help me a little."
